  Custom Roller Skates 70's Inspired Looks ALOHA! Welcome back, fashionistas! Today, we're going to skate our way through the vibrant era of the 70s, where the sound of disco beats echoed through roller skating rinks. I don’t know about y’all, but this screams the spirit of nostalgia. In this edition of KIMology N’ Fashion, let’s lace up our roller skates and skate away into time to acknowledge the iconic roller skating era of the 1970s. The 70s witnessed the rise of roller discos, where fashion was just as important as the moves being performed on the skating rink floor. People tended to wear sequined jumpsuits, bell bottoms, abstract patterns, and neon colors. Roller skating in the 70s was a riot of colors, with the neon lights and disco balls reflecting a colorful vibrant glow onto the rink. One of my favorite forms of self-expression from this era was DIY customization. Roller skaters would customize their outfits to stand out and make an impression when on the rink. Rhines

Jordan High Heels For Women The Relationship Between Black Mothers & Their Daughters   The thread of influence woven by my mother and big sisters stands out as unique, vibrant, and utterly irreplaceable. Their individual styles, shaped by generations before them, and a strong sense of self-expression, have been my compass in navigating the fashion world. Please allow me to explain the impact they've had on my evolution into becoming a true fashionista! The Elegance of My Mother's Heritage: My mother, a woman of creativity, strength, and love, infused her style with elements that celebrated our African American heritage. Her wardrobe told stories of resilience, beauty, and African American pride. Embracing what she has shown me through her fashion choices taught me that style was not just about clothes but a beautiful showcase of identity. Sisterly Coordination: Having big sisters who were fashionistas before fashionistas even existed exposed me to the diverse styles within

Thrift Transformation -D.I.Y. 2-Piece Jersey Set Transforming A Blanket Into A Fuzzy Dress -Beginner D.I.Y. Aloha and welcome back! Today, we are going to discuss some of my personal ways to be a budget-conscious fashionista. I strongly believe in style not being determined by the size of one’s wallet but by the creativity and flair they brings to their wardrobe. The art of shopping on a budget allows you to be CHIC without breaking the bank. Mix and Match: This is one of my favorite ways to piece together a look and build a versatile wardrobe. By investing in versatile pieces that can be paired in multiple ways, it allows me to create a wardrobe that feels new, dynamic, and creative without having to buy something new or expensive. Think colorful tank tops, crop tops, mini skirts, basic shirts, and timeless accessories that effortlessly add versatility to your look. Treasure Store: Vintage Finds and “Hand Me Downs” I advocate for the thrill of thrifting and receiving hand-me-downs. Th

Afro Sheen Ad The Notorious B.I.G. -One More Chance Music Video ​ Aloha and welcome back, fashionistas! Today, we'll explore African Americans' diverse and specific cultural influence on contemporary fashion and style. We'll discuss the immaculate influence they've drawn from music, entertainment, civil rights, and cultural expression. Icons like Diana Ross and Prince revolutionized fashion with their unique styles—Diana Ross's glamorous gowns and Prince's bold, gender-bending attire. African Americans have left an unforgettable mark on the fashion industry, commonly known as the originators of everything FLY. Please join me as we pay homage to this incredible ongoing journey. Dating back to the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s, it was a cultural combustion that produced a new era of fashion. African-American creatives and intellectuals in Harlem redefined the notion of black identity through clothing and style. The Jazz Age witnessed bold fashion statements, sho
